Virtual Assistant and Proofreader
Hey, everyone! My name is Autumn Bingham, and I’m a Christian college student who wants the experience of helping authors to accomplish their goals. This is my first venture into the business world, so I don’t have a website yet (which I’m hoping to correct soon!), but I would love to get to work with you.
I offer multiple services. I’m a good line editor and proofreader, having edited my own work and, in an unofficial capacity, the work of my friends, since the age of nine. I chase down errors in a manner similar to the way my cat goes after a squirrel: the chase can be exciting, but she always gets it in the end! I also am interested in a position as a Virtual Assistant, offering several different services and willing to learn whatever you would require.
As a proofreader, my price is $0.01 a word, although I’m perfectly willing to negotiate otherwise. I can get short stories back to you in a day or two, although a full work might take me a little longer.
As a Virtual Assistant, my services are at your disposal for $20 per hour, although, again, this number is open to negotiation. I will do any and all of the following:
Read and respond to emails
Schedule meetings (whether virtual or in person)
Respond to media requests
Balance your professional budget
Book travel arrangements
Perform general administrative tasks
Coordinate/communicate with beta readers, editors, etc.
Draft newsletters
Fact-check your writing
Transcribe chapters of your work based on audio recordings
General editing (although I will not replace an experienced editor!)
Keep track of story continuity
Track your story/character/location bible
If you need help with a podcast, I can:
Research guests or topics for your podcast
Generate interview questions
Schedule interviews with guests
I’m so glad to meet you all, and I hope that there’s some way I can serve you!
In Him,
Autumn Bingham
Note: Thanks to Thomas Umstattd for his post How to Find and Work with a Virtual Assistant. This is where I realized I could do some of the things he talked about, and could start my journey this way!
